Josiah Epps was a great guy and will always be well remembered

In 2001, when we were housemates in Chestnut Hill, Josiah thoughtfully gave me my first Christmas tree as an adult. It´s a cherished memory I hold close, especially as my family puts up our tree this holiday season and I am telling them about Josiah. He had a truly wonderful soul, and my thoughts are with his loving family this season as we remember him from London, one of his favourite cities. -Kathleen

Remembering Josiah´s warmth and his infectious chuckle, Phoebe, Thomas and Anna

He was a great man with wonderful values and he will always be treasured in the hearts of his friends.

Josiah - what a lovely and sweet fellow - who always cheered me with his smile when we ran into one another at Barker or elsewhere. I was especially glad for someone to reminisce with about my old friend and mentor Archie, a frequent happy sight at lunch at the Faculty club's Long Table. Josiah carried his father's spirit in his warm presence.

He was a great guy. So sorry to hear of his passing. He touched many lives and embodied the highest values and ideals.

Dear Alexis,
My deepest sympathies for your loss of Josiah. My thoughts are with you at this difficult time. Sending you lots of hugs to you and Amelia.

So very sorry for your tremendous loss. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.

Josiah - you are missed. Though we hadn't spoken in years, I now think of you daily. Sending much love to those around you who are experiencing this loss even more acutely and viscerally. I am so, so sorry for your pain.
